Foul or no foul, why did UConn call a play to set up a 3 point heave? Even Lobo questioned that last play call. They had 10 secs to drive to the basket or mid-range pull up to win it. UConn might have gotten a foul call in that circumstance or an easier chance to tie/win the game. Even if Paige catches the ball off the Edwards screen, that was going to a tough play to execute.

I was very impressed with the Uconn players at the post-game press conference. All of them were classy in a gut-wrenching defeat and very authentic. Really appreciated their thoughtful answers. On the other hand, Geno is always Geno....
Nah. Geno has more rings (11) than fingers.
If you want to feel sorry for Paige and or for Muhl and or for the UConn team - yes, I surely get it.
That was clearly an O foul. The screener was not set. She stepped into the defender and pushed her. What game were you guys watching?
That would be a foul in the first quarter so should be a foul in the fourth quarter.
(Preempting the "you can't call that at the end of the game" nonsense.)
Great point!
I take back what I said above. I don't feel sorry for Geno OR Paige. Muhl, maybe a little bit.
What also changes my mind here is the fact that .............................
They will be back in the Championship Game next season. Mark it down.
How do I know??? ....................
Not usually. She hits a respectable amount and it affects momentum positively when she does. Its not like she doesn't pass a lot and have huge numbers of assists.
Paige is UConn's best player but she didn't take enough shots in the second half.Too many other players were shooting 3 point bricks that allowed Iowa to take the lead.
Geno lost. All i care about.
It was a foul according to the rules. Timing of call seems to be the problem.
She extended and made contact to upper body area.
Heck we had a HOF coach who never won a title like the NCAAā¦ who would you have liked? Chris stayed with that whiner so was there a reason beside the money aspect? How many titles do the UConn women have?
āI thought CVS was a great coach for many of her years here at RU. She could just not get us all the way up there with UConn/Tennessee...we seemed so close at times. I don't think anyone will ever know what happened with Stringer over her last few years here.
UConn? Great program... to me frequently Geno just doesn't seem to work and play well with others at times
, just my opinion. Chris has stayed there for reasons of her own, not sure what they were. Maybe she is a major contributor to UConn's success. Who knows? Not sure how many titles UConn has won, don't really care that much.
Go RU!!

The complaint about the call is not disputing the fact that it, technically, was an illegal screen(especially once we were given the other replay angle). The disappointment comes from the call being inconsistent with 1) the way the rest of the game was called, and 2)the traditional way basketball games are officiated in final seconds of a close game.
Today's game had a ton of plays where actual fouls were technically committed. Refs used their discretion as to what fouls to allow as a "play on", and which ones absolutely had to be called.
Just to be clear - Chris is a major contributor to UConn success and is in the WBB Hall of Fame as an Assistant because of it. They have 11 Nattys. I know you don't care, but it is notable.āI thought CVS was a great coach for many of her years here at RU.

Go RU!!
Indeed. There have been times I wished Chris would have come back to RU to take a crack at being our HC. Just not meant to be, I guess.
Go RU!
